"I'd like to talk to y'all for a second if I can...
'Cause you know,
Basically, I got to start off thanking God that I'm alive and well enough
to be with you today.
And that all is as well as it is.
You see, less than two years ago, I found myself in a real bad situation.
I found myself down on the ground and I couldn't get up; and I mean I was
tryin' and I couldn't.
What I'm telling you about...
You see, I thought I could stay at the party forever.
It don't work that way.
'Cause that shit'll kill 'ya...
That stuff will kill 'ya.
What I'm askin' you to do
Is to stay away from them drugs and things
'Cause what they do is they eat 'ya inside out, 'ya know?
They make you forget about those people that you really love.
And they make you run from love
'Cause you can't stand how good it looks.
I'm asking you to take care of yourself so you can be there for your
brothers and sisters when they need 'ya.
Are 'ya with me??"
